781 A Mountain of Paperwork and a Sea of Meetings is the Death of a Man (1/2)

Xuan Mo shook her head somewhat incredulously. She had long felt that Xia Xiaohe's brain was abnormal. And now she was more and more convinced of her judgment.

This young girl looked pure and pleasant, perhaps she was like their previous boss who was accidentally hit on the head when he went to the lower realm. Although there were many kinds of Fallen Immortal, no one would be as out of mind and unique as Xia Xiaohe was. In Nine Regions, perhaps only that pair of Master and disciple could compete with her.

On the other hand, Bai Ze looked calm. He stared at Xia Xiaohe seriously, waiting for further explanation.

”What's with your expression? Do you think I'm a retard? How rude!” Xia Xiaohe looked offended and puzzled. She said, ”I'm seriously pointing out a clear way for you. You treat me as if I'm an idiot!”

Bai Ze rubbed his temple painfully, trying to relieve his headache. This was a habit that he developed while he was still an ordinary mortal. It had been corrected for a long time after he entered the immortal cultivation world. But, now he couldn't help but pick it up again.

”If you don't mind, please explain it to us in detail.”

”Since your perception is that low then… Fine.” Xia Xiaohe was a bit unhappy and said,  ”First of all,  let's be clear about one thing. You guys can't win this. No matter how hard you struggle,  you can't change the strength difference between the two sides. For example, we can easily find ten to twenty people like Canglan. Not to mention that there are many people whose levels are above Canglan. Once the passage between the two worlds is opened, you guys will definitely lose.”

Xuan Mo opened her mouth to refute,   but her words were choked back to her throat by Xia Xiaohe as she said , ”Respect each other's IQ ok? Facing the power of the upper realm,  you guys simply don't have any chance. In those years, only a significant part of the upper realm force that was used to suppress you guys. But when the channel between the two worlds is opened, the upper realm would send out the main force.”

Bai Ze asked, ”Then if we surrender to you, we can be safe and sound?”

”Yes,  isn't that very simple,  very advantageous, and very tempting?”

Bai Ze ignored Xia Xiaohe's words and pointed at the core of the problem,  ”How can you protect us? According to your opinion, there are many people in the upper realm who are in favor of the great purge plan of the Nine Regions. There are only very few people like you, or perhaps even only you. How can you be against the trend?”

”How can there be such a good thing in this world! Do you think we're idiots?”

”You haven't gone to the Immortal World,  so how do you know there's no such good thing?” Xia Xiaohe gave him a look, and then explained, ”The main purpose of the upper realm is the Nine Regions, while you, the creatures of the Nine Regions, are only accessories. There are a few people who are good at refining immortal treasure from living blood and flesh, and they are interested in you guys. But most of the other people think that you guys are just mosquitoes hanging around the treasure; they can clean you up, but they might not have to kill you all. If someone is willing to step forward and take over you, of course no one will deliberately make things difficult.”

”So, the immortals from the upper realm want us to leave Nine Regions? However, hundreds of millions creatures in Nine Regions have lived here since the creation of the world. Where else can we go? Western Continent?”

Xia Xiaohe shook her head and said, ”Western Continent is not a paradise either. They are facing the same situation as Nine Regions. Don't worry, since I want you to surrender to me, I will naturally arrange a home for you. I have a pocket universe in the immortal world that has always been empty, which can be used to accommodate you.”

”A pocket universe? An Immortal cave?” Bai Ze asked in disbelief, ”What kind of cave can hold all the creatures in Nine Regions? What's more, you guys have such a big world, why would you insist on Nine Regions?”

”It can't accommodate all the creatures of Nine Regions.” Xia Xiaohe lightly said, ”It can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at most.”

”Hundreds of thousands of people? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many creatures there are in Nine Regions?”

Xia Xiaohe said, ”What's the point? Most of the creatures in Nine Regions are not human, while most of the humans are just ordinary mortals. The number of cultivators is about one in ten thousand to one in a thousand. At the same time, most of the cultivators are just a pile of trash, which either consist of heresies like artificial spirit root or wastes like mixed spirit root. Only tens of thousands of people who are really useful. In light of this, I basically leave you with ten times the space needed.”

”... Your ideas are hard to agree with.”

Xia Xiaohe said with a smile, ”Hard to agree with? Then what do you want? My space is so large that it can be filled with hundreds of thousands of people! But do you want to choose a group of mediocre and stupid people instead of selecting the best of immortal cultivation talents? Or you just want to pick a bunch of pigs and dogs? Do you think it's appropriate? Kicking your friends and Nine Regions' most talented people into the abyss and let a group of beasts survive? That seems to be more cruel than the great purge!”

”...”

”Or do you still hope that Nine Regions can overcome the difficulties without suffering damages? Don't be so naive okay? Even if you think with your knees, you know that's impossible. Disaster is coming no matter what. All you can do is to minimize the loss… Good or bad, in those years, you guys also have experienced major events, so you ought to think clearly about this point.”

Bai Ze and Xuan Mo certainly thought clearly. Theoretically speaking, Xia Xiaohe's words were not wrong. However, to accept it just like that was really not easy.

After a long time, Xuan Mo whispered, ”Even if only a few hundred thousand people are saved, it is better than the whole army being annihilated. But what happens when these hundreds of thousands of people enter your pocket universe? What's in your pocket universe?”

”There's nothing.” Xia Xiaohe shrugged and said, ”It's just a piece of desolate and uninhabited barren land. There's no surrounding spiritual energy, nor the fragrance of flowers and chirping of birds. You guys need to build everything from scratch.”
